SIGMAA-Rec

SIGMAA on Recreational Mathematics

About SIGMAA-Rec

Recreational Mathematics is a broad term that covers many different areas including games, puzzles, magic, art, and more. Possibly the most well-known expositor of recreational mathematics was Martin Gardner, who wrote the Mathematical Games column for “Scientific American” magazine. The purpose of SIGMAA-Rec is to bring together mathematicians and others who are interested in recreational topics and to promote the often-deep mathematics inside the subjects. We will also work with other organizations to promote recreational mathematics as a serious field of study.
